'Masterful . . . [Thompson] illuminates both the fascinating coders and the bewildering technological forces that are transforming the world in which we live.' - David Grann, author of The Lost City of Z.
Facebook's algorithms shaping the news. Uber's cars flocking the streets. Revolution on Twitter and romance on Tinder. We live in a world constructed of computer code. Coders - software programmers - are the people who built it for us. And yet their worlds and minds are little known to outsiders.
In Coders, Wired columnist Clive Thompson presents a brilliantly original anthropological reckoning with the most influential tribe in today's world, interrogating who they are, how they think, what they value, what qualifies as greatness in their world, and what should give us pause.
One of the most prominent journalists writing on technology today, Clive Thompson takes us into the minds of coders, the most quietly influential people on the planet, in a journey into the heart of the machine - and the men and women who made it.

Quite an insightful look at the workings of tech firms, though perhaps with some sizeable legions of coders (such as embedded design, IoT, optimizations) left out. Some Goodreads reviews seem to sugge...Quite an insightful look at the workings of tech firms, though perhaps with some sizeable legions of coders (such as embedded design, IoT, optimizations) left out. Some Goodreads reviews seem to suggest the author thinks about the demographics of coders too much, but it doesn't seem unbearably so to me.(展开)
